Six and a half years after the Haliburton Highlands Green Burial Society (HHGBS) first asked Algonquin Highlands (AH) Township Council to consider the creation of a year-round green burial section at its St. Stephen’s cemetery, an official opening ceremony will celebrate the achievement of that dream on Sunday, October 19th. Everyone is welcome to join members of AH Township Council and the HHGBS leadership at the opening.
